Great app to help comprehend the grib files. But this app could be improved with a simple manual input of a position, course and speed. I can then view the expected wx as the estimated position progresses along this course every 3 hours. I use a win gribview program that does this. A vast improvement over the competition if this feature could be added for android. You directed me to Sailgrib WR, no that won't do it. This request is for a SailGrib viewer enhancement. Can it be done for android?

Very Useful ! Allows one to make own wind decisions, rather that others interpretations !

Ronn Ballantyne

Very effective particually when used with sailgribs own routing software. Use this to select grib zone you need. Very helpful support staff. Highly recomend
